2 Corinthians 9:8

Summary: Our focus this Sunday will be the Cadets theme for the year: “Be a Blessing”. Our temptation is to go through life always trying to grab and gather for our own gain–whether that be money, success, prestige, or pleasure. The Cadet Theme encourages us to go through life with an outward rather than an inward focus. Paul reminds us in this verse that God will meet all our needs. In addition, he’s already reminded us of the riches that are ours in Christ (8:9). Being thus relieved of concern for ourselves, Christians are free to focus all of our attention on ‘being a blessing’ to others. We’ll look with the Cadets at some specific ways we can practice this outward focus.
